"Jaaaack hurry up!" The Doctor called impatiently, bouncing on the balls of his feet. There was so much to see! Not that they were pressed for time, but he was eager to begin learning where things were, what things were. He'd been ready for this all morning and they wait was growing unbearable. How long did it take to throw on a pair of shoes? "

"Hey! I'm not that bad, you know," he chuckled. "Come on, first thing we need to do is.."
Jack stopped, turned around, hooked the Doctor's arm and drug him away from the huffy painting. "Don't worry about her, she's always in a mood like that. See the painting two over and up on the wall? He keeps promising to come back and visit her. Never does," he tutted.

This was certainly a turn about. Normally he was the one giving tours and leading the way, enjoying the looks of delight and surprise in his companions' faces. Today it felt like discovering a brand new book in a library of novels he'd already read a dozen times over.

With all that, though, he was wholly unprepared to deal with people, especially loud people. Especially a loud person who was blocking the hall that was the quickest route to the infirmary. Especially someone who smelled like the bowtie-wearing idiot who kept insisting he was - shudder - a dog alien.
Kurama grumbled to himself and stuck to the opposite wall, hoping the Noisy One was distracted enough by the paintings to not notice him. Needless to say, he was never that lucky.
